Editorial Reviews Duo Concertante (Nancy Dahn, violin and Timothy Steeves, piano performs double concertos by Felix Mendelssohn and Andrew Paul MacDonald. With the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Marc David. e Mendelssohn Double Concerto Felix Mendelssohn was only fourteen years old when he composed his Concerto for Violin and Piano in D minor. The work fell into oblivion for over one hundred years until the autographic score was rediscovered. The first twentieth century performance with string orchestra was given in Berlin in 1957 and the first performance of the wind version (performed here) in 1999. The MacDonald Double Concerto From composer Andrew MacDonald: The Double Concerto, Op. 51, for violin, piano and orchestra, was commissioned by Nancy Dahn and Timothy Steeves of Duo Concertante. I designed the music to display the virtuosic talents of this wonderful duo within a symphonic context of shifting textures, where the main musical ideas gradually evolve, taking on new characteristics. The many solo and duo cadenza passages, however, make it clear who the true soloists are! Set in one large movement with three main sections separated by cadenzas, the work takes on a fantasy-like character, though the traditional concerto form is just beneath the surface.
